This is due to the issue #1149 and the problem we saw with chmod ant
task not working on Linux, so we had to explicitely call Shell command
using exec task.

I didn't get this, is "chmod" target produces IOException with Java 6 on
Solaris?

Yes, there is bundled ANT located in lib/ant and that need to have
execute permission for build and runtime purpose.

this is due to the issue #1149 that on linux chmod task doesn't work so
need to call throght exec.

the patch needs to work on pre-JDK 6 for other 9.x releases. so pls let
